Chatter Rankings Graphs

Charting the chatter for the past two years, we can see that Democrats have a decided advantage in coverage. Overall, they've gotten 58% of all the stories I've tracked; since May 2006. Coverage has shifted more towards Democrats in the past year - and has grown tremendously at the same time, spiking with the candidacy announcements in January and diminishing somewhat since then. The pace should begin to pick up in a couple months as the Iowa Straw Poll (in Ames, August 19, 2007) nears.

Chatter Ranking Graphs

1. The graphs look smoothe between August and February; this is because I only did one Chatter Ranking (in December).

2. Sen. Hillary Clinton has been taken off the Democrats graph to correct the scale; she is literally off the charts.

3. Click on the graphs to get them to open in a new window where they will be big enough to properly view.

4. For some reason, numbers are blacked out. Refer back to the Global Review post for an idea of the scale. The x-axis is months; you can see the break in late 2005 as an area with no 'dots' along the plotted series.
